With over 300 kilometres of paved and unpaved trails, Bonaire offers great cycling opportunities for mountain bikers or casual riders. Rent a bike or bring your own, then follow the blue rocks that serve as trail markers. If you’re not comfortable with navigating on your own, join a guided tour of Washington Slagbaai National Park, Rincon or Kralendijk.  For tours and bike rentals, contact:
